define overpaid.
They are the best at what they do, so they should be paid accordingly. The teams evaluate ticket sales, food sales, advertising, all kinds of factors to determine how much they can afford to pay a player, and then decide what that player is worth. Some are worth the money, some dont pan out.
but as long as the teams are making money, i wouldnt say overpaid. Overpaid would be someone that is causing a business to go bankrupt because paying their salary makes them uncompetitive with the other "teams".......................like GM workers :P
If every team had a "albert pujols" for $10 million a year, then yes, the Angels "overpaid him". But hes arguably the best player of the last 10 years, so he gets paid a lot of money.
